Rowan of the Wood, WINNER of the 2009 Indie Excellence Award for YA Fiction and a Finalist for the 2008 National Best Books Award, tells the story of a young boy Cullen who meanders through the redwood forest every day on his way to school, losing himself in books and fantasy worlds full of elves, fairies, and wizards. He loves to escape to these magical lands because reality for him is not fun at all. Cullen and his two misfit friends, Maddy and April, are terribly unpopular amongst the other kids, and they regularly endure ridicule and bullying. Cullen's life changes incredibly one day when he uncovers an ancient magic wand that is inhabited by a powerful wizard, Rowan. Inadvertently, Cullen releases Rowan from the wand and finds himself possessed by the wizard, with a great power and an obsessive need to find a lost love. When danger is near, Rowan emerges from the frightened child to set things right. He and Cullen try to understand what has happened to them, only to discover a deeper problem. Nearly fourteen centuries ago, Rowan and his bride Fiana were separated on their wedding day. Rowan manages to survive, trapped in time, until Cullen releases him from the wand. Fiana uses dark magic to stay alive as she continues searching for Rowan. Over the centuries, Fiana descends deeper into the darkness becoming something evil and eventually giving up her search...until a young boy brings Rowan back to her.
The sequel, WITCH ON THE WATER, is now available on AMAZON and wherever fine books are sold.

I agree with just_jeepin. I'll edit the title and add (Preview).

Having a preview is nice BUT the majority of books on Feedbooks are the whole book. Please mark previews as a preview. Not doing so is misleading and I'm much more likely to not purchase a book by authors that do this.
